Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Hi all, does anyone else just feel like life is just one big sh!t show? It's just one thing after another, constant drama, family issues, money struggles, stress, anxiety it's just always something.

When do things get easier, do things ever change?

I've been through more than i care to think about in my life but today has pushed me to breaking point and it's bringing up alot of bad memories of previous suicide attempts.

I just feel like it's not worth it, it's not worth fighting, not worth hanging on anymore.

No, not yet. @MissGremlin

I've been tossing and turning and trying to sleep for two hours. I'm tired, but can't sleep.

How was your day today?

Re: Battles

@NightFury that's really frustrating. Hopefully you'll be able to sleep soon. Have you tried a warm drink or even just getting up and moving around a bit then trying again?

My day wasn't too bad but it sort of came crashing down this evening. I made some paper snowflakes today and watched movies.

How was your day?

Re: Battles

I just got up and let Luna out to the toilet @MissGremlin and had a drink of water. I hope I can fall asleep soon too. I don't cope very well without sleep.

Movies and art and craft sound nice. I did some washing this morning, then went out for Christmas Lunch at a bowls club. When I got home, I laid on the floor to watch TV and almost fell asleep. My thoughts have been kind of swirly tonight.

Re: Battles

@NightFury really hoping you can fall asleep soon my sweet, i know how much of a toll not getting enough sleep can have on us. I only had 4 hours last night so I'm surprised I'm still so wide awake.

Well done for doing some washing. Hope the Christmas lunch went ok, i know you were feeling a bit uncomfortable about that. Laying on the floor to watch TV sounds relaxing. I hear you sweet, it's tough when the thoughts are swirly.
